Though you may not have seen much news from us in recent weeks, we have been hard at work on behind the scenes structure changes. These changes are needed to improve performance and scalability to allow the great updates that we have been hinting at for a while now.

Along with our work for performance, we have been tightening security to put a stop to recent hack attempts on the system. Thank you for your patience in support as we deal with these broad range issues; rest assured support request is being taken care of.

As we continue to work towards a very special update, that will help with usability and allow more customization than ever before, we have also been releasing other updates that need to be in place first.

The latest update has included a redone downloads system. Now you can allow your members to upload many different file types for others to download. It incorporates a lot of the community features that the new gallery does. Such as rating downloads, commenting on them, and a top contributors section. It’s one of many great steps forward recently, and much more is on its way.

This last month we have been working on, among other things, a better way to structure and manage the Spruz Pro package for the benefit of everyone.

We have just changed Spruz Pro so that your cost is not affected by the number of members that you have in your community. Spruz Pro still starts at just $9.95 and now you don’t have to worry about how many members you have in your community. Spruz Pro, now with unlimited members!

Here are some more highlights of the Spruz Pro package:

No Ads, or Use Your Own and Get 100% of the Revenue

More File Space

Priority Support (including phone support)
